Atheism becomes stronger when we are willing to relate to all faiths and positions.
How many people here claim to hate Christians as a general rule? I don't know of any. We may hate the beliefs, and may be irked by fundies and those who ignore logic, but I don't know of anyone here who would say "I hate Christians" (except you, apparently.)
I don't know man.
One thing that bothers me is that 95% of Muslims don't feel hateful towards others. 95% of Hindus, Christians, Jews are pretty damn cool. I could invite em over for thanksgiving and they would be cool with it.
In fact my neighbors on either side is a Hindu, and another Muslim. Coolest folks I've seen.
But atheist anger and intolerance is like 95% of the population.

I've seen three or four Christians pop up on these boards. Maybe a Muslim, I don't remember. They get absolutely eviscerated. It's so endemic you would think atheists actually think God exists to be a target of their hate.
But maybe, just maybe...that's what the internet does? That the internet just makes normal, sane atheist turn into rabid maniacs?
You tell me.
